South of Midnight release date announced at Xbox developer direct

During today's Xbox Development Director meeting, we saw a new trailer for Midnight South, which has a release date of April 8, 2025.

In the trailer, we get a good look at Hazel's powers, which blend the traditional craft of weaving with magic, allowing her to fight, summon things, and overcome environmental obstacles. As she fights, Hazel will “unlock” enemies and destroy them in action combat, and there are some customization elements to her fighting style that help her fight different enemy types.

Hazel will visit different regions ruled by magical creatures, each with a different Southern Gothic history that she needs to heal by collecting fragments of their memories. In the trailer, we see several of these creatures, including a really big bird and a giant crocodile covered in spikes with giant trees sticking out of its back.
